As I reach the ripe old age of 68, I am only too aware of
exercising one's body and mind. I love walking, Pilates and
reading. Sod Sitting, Get Moving! is the book to make sure that you
can make activity fun – and you'll live longer.
*Christopher Biggins, national treasure and King of the Jungle*
As we get older it's important to keep exercise going if we want to
have a healthy life. A half hour walk every day can do us a lot of
good. So that it doesn't become a chore it's worth doing something
you really enjoy. For me it's swimming, and at the same time you
can do lots of exercises which are much more gentle when you try
them under the water. Get yourself a dog and get him/her to take
you for a good stroll every day. Remember the old saying – use it
or lose it – and Sod Sitting, Get Moving!
*David Hamilton, broadcaster*
I have always been a great believer in a healthy lifestyle and have
been exercising since I was a young child growing up in Sri Lanka.
Now in my sixties, I swim every day and train with weights at least
three times a week. Exercise is so important to us all and Sod
Sitting, Get Moving! should be the bible for anyone over fifty. Get
moving – it really is fun!
*David Wilkie, MBE, Olympic and Commonwealth Games champion*
Sod Sitting, Get Moving! is a book for everyone – but particularly
for those in later years. As a working GP I see an increasing
number of patients in their seventies and beyond. I recommend
exercise as the first step to getting better. If we all took the
advice in this excellent book we wouldn't need to prescribe quite
so many pills.
*Dr Dawn Harper, GP, TV presenter and author*
Sod Sitting, Get Moving! is a masterclass in motivation. I exercise
and train a minimum of four times a week. It gives me a sense of
wellbeing and makes me aware of my working body. It really has kept
me youthful and I intend to carry on. I urge everyone to Sod
Sitting, Get Moving! as Diana's book enthuses.
*Jacques Azagury, designer*
Exercise is normally such a bore, but dancing is wonderful exercise
and such fun. Exercise is even better when you move to music, as
Diana recommends in this wonderful book. Buy it now and put a
spring in your step.
*Lionel Blair, entertainer*
I've known Diana Moran for years – and in her seventies she still
looks in her fifties. If her secret is in this book I thoroughly
recommend it. I'm fast realising that the older we get the more we
need to stay active!
*Matthew Wright, broadcaster*
I know seventy is now much of an age nowadays. But when it actually
happens to you (me), it's still a bit of a facer. So I agree that
Diana's message should be a maxim for us all! And here are my
simple exercises for the face: 1. Look up, not down. 2. Look
forward, not back. 3. Raise the sides of the mouth. Hold for thirty
years. I don't know whether they work, but I'm keeping on with them
just in case.
*Sir Richard Stilgoe, singer and songwriter*
This book is a bible for anyone over sixty. As it recommends, I
walk fast every single day for a minimum of half an hour and it has
become such a part of my life that I barely notice it. I tend to
shop locally so will always walk there and back; if I need to get a
bus somewhere I'll walk a couple of stops further than I need to. I
feel fitter than I've ever done, my weight has stayed the same for
years and I sleep well. It costs nothing and you don't need special
equipment. So Sod Sitting, Get Moving! – it's worked for me.
*Trudie Goodwin, The Bill and Emmerdale actress*
At 58 I know the need to keep active – whoever you are. I'm lucky
to have maintained my fitness, I don't push the competitive
boundaries these days, I just find joy in being active and being
able to be active! As Diana recommends in her excellent book,
activity can often just be simply walking and having the time and
opportunity to commune with nature. Sod sitting – get active!
